• Move hoops slowly, following outline of design.
Maintain an even rate of speed so that stitches
are uniformly placed.
Slow movement of hoops produces a close satin
stitch; more rapid movement lengthens the stitch
and results in an open effect.
Shading stitches from wide to narrow is controll
ed by the angle at which work is placed and moved
under needle.
A test sample should always- be made before
proceeding with the actual work to determine stitch
setting
and
spacing.
Some
fabrics
may
require
addition of un underlay of crisp lawn or organdie.
